Q

blood clotting process

A

1)- have platelets that clump together on cut and form plug to stop blood from escaping

2)- platelets release thromboplastin

3)- the thromboplastin is transformed and turns to fibrinogen

4)- fibrin threads wrap around injury to trap more platelets that form a clot

Q

how does leukemia start to develop

A

caused by changes of mutations in the DNA of developing blood cells

the dna is like a set of instructions and if one things is messed up can lead to leukemia or high levels of some chemicals

Q

what do antigens do

A

act as signals or flags that help notify when something cant be there

34
Q

what do antibodies do

A

when antigens alert what cant be there then antibodies go and try to find invaider to kill (army)

35
Q

universal donor

A

O it can give to all blood types because it makes no antigens on it

36
Q

universal recipient

A

AB can take / get from any type of blood

37
Q

what does rh negative mean

A

no antigens
makes antibodies

38
Q

what does rh positive mean

A

makes antigens
no antibodies

39
Q

what does being immue stand for

A

the body can fight of the infections or pathogens

40
Q

what does pathogens stand for

A

organism causing disease

41
Q

what can viruses do to body once they get in cells

A

they can contain dna once they break into cells and then manipulate the dna

42
Q

do bacterias have nucleus

A

no and are mostly only single cells

43
Q

what type of medication helps limit growth or destroy orgainsms that are living

A

antibiotics

44
Q

what can antibiotics not fight against

A

virues

45
Q

what are vectors and how do they spread infections

A

its when bugs or bug bites spread disease ect

46
Q

what are vehiculur and how do they spread infections

A

contaminated food or water that spread disease

47
Q

what is the lytic cycle

A

death of cells

48
Q

what is the lysigenic cycle

A

taskes cells functions away then manipulate it

49
Q

what is the oncogenic cycle

A

can result in cancer happens from not making nutrients supposed to form so it forms tumor

50
Q

what is HIV

A

immue cells that have the antigens constantly change so its unidentifiable

51
Q

what is the first line of defense

A

its the barriers ex the eyelashes skin ect
- includes skin, respitory tract, stomach

52
Q

what does the first line of defense do skin

A

helps from bacteria and pathogens form entering and has lysomoes that help break the bacteria walls

53
Q

what does the first line of defense do respitory tract

A

it helps filter and sweep out the bacteria ftom respitory system with hairlike structure called cilia (activates sneezing)

  • mucles help trap bacteria
54
Q

what does the first line of the defense do stomach

A

has corrosicve acids (very acidic) and destroys microbes and good bacteria in stomach out does bad

55
Q

what is the 2nd line of defense include

A

the phagocytosis the eating / engulfing of the microbes or bactiera after surrounding it to kill it in body

56
Q

what are the 2 types of white blood cells in phagocytois

A

macrophages and neutrophils

57
Q

what do macrophages do / how created

A

they’re created from monocytes (special white blood cells) and go from blood tissue and turn into big eaters which are macrophages

  • they’re mainly in tissues and have arms (pseudopods) that grab on the bacteria to eat
58
Q

what do neutrophils do / how created

A

theyre atracted to signals from damaged cells and are in capillaries but go to tissues to engulf and eat microbes

  • then after they release lysosomal enzymes that help break down microbes eaten
59
Q

what does pus represent

A

dead white blood cells or microbe / protein fragments

60
Q

how are fevers made / created

A

they’re created when macrophages / neutrophils eat invaiders and realse chemicals that increase body temp

61
Q

what are the complementary proteins 3 types (globuilns)

A

type a
type b
type c

62
Q

what does the globuiln type a do (complementary protein)

A

coats microbe and prevent germ from reproducing

63
Q

what does the globuiln type b do (complementary protein)

A

dissolves microbes membrane attacks microbes and puncture it

64
Q

what does the globuiln type c do (complementary protein)

A

attrack specific phagocytes and leukocytes

65
Q

what is step 1 of the third line of defence

A

complementary proteins (gloubins)

66
Q

what is another step of the third line of defence

A

identifying antigens (markers on surfaces) to see what it is then automatically makes and antibodies made from b cells

67
Q

what is the other step of the third line of defense

A

the types fo lymphocytes helper t help activate b cells and killer t cells

68
Q

what are the types of t cells and what do they do

A

t-cells : made in bone marrow stored in thymus gland

helper t- most important, inisuate response read antigens shape then call b cells and killer t

killer t- directly kill pathogens and infected cells

supressor t - help shut down killer t cells so dont kill good cells

69
Q

what are the 2 b cell types

A

b-cells- produce antibodies receive signal form T cells (when antibodies attach to antigens makes easier for macrophages to eat)

memory b cells- remember intruder and act easily next time it enters

70
Q

what do macrophages activate

A

once macrophages engulf they display those antigens and then activate helper t

71
Q

what do the assisting chemicals interferons do

A

signal responce to let out more host cells to fight and act as army and are like alarms

72
Q

what do the assisting chemicals lymphokine do

A

are like the messangers they send messages from t cells and b cells to make sure all working together

73
Q

summary steps of the immune system

A
  • invaider comes in
  • macrophages eats and then displays the antigen on the outside of it
  • helper t activated then calls b cell and killer t

b cells produce antibodies that attach to antigens so phagocytes can eat better

and killer t cells search and destroy

  • supressor t helps shut the killer t so doesnt kill good
  • memory b remembers the invaider so can easily fight again
74
Q

fourth line of defence

A

medicine

75
Q

what do vaccinations do

A

it activates the immune system without giving disease
then body recognizes what it might have to fight in future

(like training session before actually getting disease)

76
Q

what do antibiotics do

A

targets specific living bacteria and not effective for vital things like the flu or cold

77
Q

symtom treatment meaning

A

when medicine cant treat germs they use those to help treat with symtoms to make it easier to live with

78
Q

why do people get allergys

A

cells think theyre in danger and so they release bradykinin that makes eyes water ect
- capillary permibility increases walls more open vasodilliate

79
Q

how to deal with severe allergy (anaphylaxis)

A

epinephrine- injects chemical that narrows blood vessel opens airway to lungs

80
Q

how to deal with minor allergy

A

with a cream or oral antinstamines it triggers reaction of rashes ect tp help stop reaction from occuring

(just take before coming in contact)

81
Q

whats rheumatoid arthiritis

A

its immune response against body joints

82
Q

whats rheumatic fever

A

inflamatory responce to body starts attacking connective tissue and then could shut down heart

83
Q

whats typel diabetes

A

its glucose build up in the bloodstream with little or no inslin in blood stream

84
Q

whats multiple sclerosis

A

t cells inticate a attack on signals to nervous system (myelin) leads to memory loss

85
Q

why are some organs for transplants rejected

A

because the antigens on it are not simlar to what your body already has

  • if rejected killer t could attack it so thats why people take immunosuppresents so killer t dont attack
